Today: 11 things (including something especially… weird).
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]You may have seen the “Eleven Things” posts circulating around the internet lately. Whitney, a fellow Bostonian and FitFluential Ambassador recently tagged me. She and I had a lovely dinner last week at Franklin Cafe, and chatted about everything from work, yoga, and relays to house-hunting. I usually shy away from these types of things, but I could not say no to Whitney. Plus, I like things that come with rules. So there’s that.
RULES
Without further ado, eleven random things about me:
1. If you had to choose, would you pick running over yoga or vice versa?
Yoga. Mostly because I can’t sneak in a nap while running.
2. Kindle, iPad or Actual Book?
Actual book. For sure.
3. Favorite fitness magazine and why?
I am a magazine junkie, but Self has always been a favorite. I love their focus on balance and happiness, and have been reading since I was high school.
4. Favorite vegetable and favorite way to cook it?
I really dislike cooked vegetables. Raw or bust.
5. What is your favorite kind of sweet? Cake, ice cream, cookies, tortes, you name it!
Junior Mints. 🙂
6. The Olympics are this summer, what sport are you excited to watch?
I am obsessed with the Olympics. I seriously cannot wait for all of the swimming events (especially relays), diving, tennis… let’s see… track and field, gymnastics… you get the point. I have never paid much attention to Olympic boxing, but now that I have a teensy bit of experience, I will definitely be watching this year and hoping to learn a thing or two.
7. What kind of running shoes do you wear? Why?
I’ve worn Mizuno Wave Alchemys for four or five years now. They fit my feet, plain and simple.
9. What kind of yoga mat do you have? Do you even have a yoga mat?
I use an Aurorae classic mat. I love their colors, and the feel of the mat, but it gets a bit slippery, especially during hot yoga when I am sweating like a man. In my quest for a solution, I discovered that Aurorae sells small rosin bags for this express purpose. I haven’t used it yet, but am looking forward to giving it a try. I keep a G2 Lifestyles Trainermat at my desk, for use in the rare event that I have 20 minutes to take a lunch break and can fit in a little stretch.
10. What is your favorite topic to blog/write about?
I love writing about entertaining, running trials and triumphs, and Clark. Clark brings all the boys to the yard readers to the blog.
11. What do you do for a day job?
I work in the non-profit sector. Aren’t I mysterious?
And now, I shall tag the following people: Bridget of Yogurt and Berries, Jessica of Dairy Free Betty, Jaime of Embracing Balance, Halley of Blunder Construction, Colleen of the daily craic, Michelle of Hit the Bricks, Mattie of Comfy and Confident, Michelle of Fun and Fearless in Beantown, Meghan of Travel Wine & Dine, Cynthia of It All Changes, and Erin of Big Girl Feats.

I was stabbed with a pencil in 8th grade in the thumb. Except they removed the lead…after five numbing shots in the thumb to dig it out. Ouch!
I’ve been tagged a few times so I’ll be combining them all later this month for when I’m on a business trip. Thanks for the tag 🙂
PS I’m prejudice against cats too. I can’t see or breathe around them.

Survey Says…
February 16, 2012 at 10:35 am
[…] I often saw surveys like this forwarded via e-mail or shared on Livejournal during the much cooler days of high school. Seeing that my blog is basically a glorified Livejournal, it isn’t a stretch for me to post the 11 Things survey going around. I’m carrying the torch forward in the name of Elizabeth at On Tap For Today (check out her hilarious responses here!) […]
